Classic FilmSeries:
"Salt
of the Earth"
SATURDAY, MARCH 29
Fox Venice Theater
620 Lincoln Blvd., Venice
Time to be announced.
No Phone Reservations.
1954 94 minutes.
Directed by Herbert Biberman; produced by Paul
Jarrico; screenplay by Michael Wilson; music by
Sol Kaplan. With Rosaura Revueltas, Juan Chacon,
Will Geer, and members of Local 890 of the inter-
national Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter workers.
Herbert Biberman came into films in the 1 930s, and his di-
rectorial assignments alternated with those of producer and
screenwriter. However, none of these assignments was es-
pecially noteworthy until he began work on Salt of the Earth,
which was truly an inspired project, triggered by the fact
that Biberman himself had been named one of the Holly-
wood Unfriendly Ten during the commurris\ witch-hunt days
of the 19505. Unable to work in Hollywood, Biberman and
producer Paul Jarrico took many of their fellow-persecuted
artists and actors to location in New Mexico, and proceeded
to produce a film they all ardently believed in, and one
which turned out to be a masterpiece. That it was little
known by film-goers can be attributed to the concerted ef-
forts to have the picture squelched politically, even to the
point of organizing projectionists into refusing to run it. A
semi-documentary re-creation of an actual year-long strike
of Mexican-American zinc miners, it used mostly a non-
professional cast except for the principals. The drama cen-
ters on the complex, changing relationship between one of
the strikers (Juan Chacon) and his wife (Rosaura Revueltas).
Salt of the Earth is the only American film with the magni-
ficent Mexican actress Revueltas (sister of the composer).
Ironically, the role was intended for Biberman's wife, Gale
Sondergaard, but she actually chose the other actress, feel-
ing that she herself was not quite right, that it should be
played by a Mexican woman.
"The most Inspiring film of the decade (the SOs) was made
by blacklisted artists. Salt of the Earth ... was finished in
spite of interference by the film industry and by the govern-
ment. ... It is the first major American film to deal honest-
ly with the labor struggle and the first to present a minority
with dignity and understanding."
-John Howard Lawson

Highlights
Music
THE WORLD SERIES.
Leilie Lee built her first radio when she was 10. Now she's Assistant to
The Chief Engineer. More than half of KPFK's Staff are women.
Two Special Days
IN HONOR OF INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY
Our programming will focus on women all day on Wed-
nesday, March 5, in honor of International Women's Day
(March 8). On that date in 1909, "The Uprising of the
20,000" began in New York City: A general strike among
sweatshop workers to protest abominable working con-
ditions and wage cuts. During the 13 week strike, over
700 women were arrested, beaten and abused. Observa-
tion of International Working Women's Holiday spread
throughout the socialist world, but was forgotten in Am-
erica until it was rediscovered more than half a century
later by feminists of the late 60s.
For our special day, we'll include a variety of the most
requested programs from the archives done by women
or about women, some live panels with open phones on
the direction of the women's movement in the new de-
cade, and of course plenty of music throughout the day,
by, for and about women, ranging from popular to folk
to classical to avant garde. Please check the listings for
March 5 on pages 14-16.
And remember. . . a radio station without a male voice
for a day, is like a fish without a bicycle.
A DAY OF CELTIC CULTURE: March 17
Howard and Roz Larman have put together a special day
to honor the Irish tradition on St. Patrick's Day. Special
music, much of it recorded live in concert locally, poetry,
drama, and interviews with sociologists who've specialized
in the traditions of the Irish in America will be featured.
Those who follow the Larmans' regular programs know
that the music of Ireland is one of their favorite subjects,
so expect to hear some fine examples on that day. The
details are on pp. 23-25 in the listings.
This month, the Music Department inaugurates a new live
performance series in our spacious upstairs Studio Z— a
bi-weekly celebration of International Music (and often
dance). We call it (naturally) The World Series.
KPFK's location in Southern California provides our lis-
teners access to many great world musicians and ensembles;
in the next few months we plan to offer you concert-broad-
casts by masters of Chinese, Persian, Korean, West African,
Indonesian and Indian musics.
We begin, auspiciously we feel, on Tuesday, March 25 with
a performance of Japanese Court Music, given under the
direction of Suenobu Togi. Mr. Togi served for many years
as a member of the Imperial Court Orchestra in Japan, per-
forming the Gagaku music, which fs the oldest musical tra-
dition still in existence today. The ensemble he directs is
in residence at UCLA.
All of the concerts in The World Series will be free to the
public beginning at 8:30 p.m. (arrive at 8:10 for best seats)
and are located at our studios in North Hollywood, just
off the Lankershim exit of the Hollywood Freeway. The
Series is produced by Carl Stone and Lois Vierk.
BOSTON SYMPHONY
Another music note of interest: The Boston Symphony
Orchestra begins its new day and time of Thursdays at
9:00 p.m.- with a program featuring the outstanding young
Japanese conductor Kazuhiro Koizumi and the renowned
flautist Jean-Pierre Rampal in a program of Glinka,
Khachaturian, Bartok and Liszt.
CAL ARTS CONTEMPORARY MUSIC FESTIVAL
As of press time, we are trying to work out all of the
thorny technical details for bringing you live broadcasts
from the CalArts Contemporary Music Festival that will
be taking place on their Valencia cagnpus from March 4
to 9. KPFK will be recording all of the events for delayed
broadcast, but if all matters of a technical nature can be
resolved in time by our stalwart chief engineer, we'll be
broadcasting the weekend concerts live and direct. The
Festival will include many premieres by some of the out-
standing 20th Century composers from the United States
and abroad. Keep your fingers crossed, and look at the
box on page 17 for specific (potential) concerts.
And a Non-Musical Edition of "Imaginary Landscape"
Saturday March 29's Imaginary Landscape features a
performance of sound poetry by three European avant-
garde poets: Adriano Spatola and F. Tiziano (Italy) and
.iulien Blaine (France). The three have performed widely
in Europe and elsewhere, and are influential in their roles
as editors and publishers of various anthologies of visual &
sound poetry and underground publications. The per-
formance will be live before a studio audience. Admis-
sion is free but seating is limited, so please call for reser-
vations (213/877-2711) during business hours.

"DEPRESSION"
A UCLA Extension Course with Dr. Carl Faber
March marks the beginning of another UCLA Extension
course by clinical psychologist Dr. Carl Faber. The course
on "Depression" was especially picked by Dr. Faber as
one of his best. We quote from the UCLA Extension
catalogue:
"Most of us have known a significant depression in our
lives. Occasioned by changes, losses, guilt and/or rage
turned within, we gradually find ourselves becoming dif-
ferent persons; our experience of our bodies, space and
time, and relationships radically change. As depression
deepens, functioning becomes almost impossible and our
inability to involve ourselves makes us feel fraudulent.
With time and adjustment, we get used to depression.
We develop attitudes, values and philosophical notions
that express and support our chronic numbness and
impotence.
"Ironically, the possibility of suicide is often near as
depression begins to lift and lessen. This program con-
cludes with an understanding of this phenomenon, as
well as the factors involved in the healing of depression.'
The course will air in nine parts on "Something's Hap-
pening," Tuesday nights beginning March 4th around
1:15 a.m. During the course, the start time will be Vi
hour earlier in two jumps as the initial two opening
program series (Environment Lectures and Jack Flan-
ders) end.
The books suggested by Dr. Faber are "Climates of the
Mind" by Carolyn Kleefeld, and Dr. Faber's own "On
Listening" and "Poems." The lectures were recorded
and furnished by UCLA Extension. Information on
this and other courses available from UCLA Extension,
Att'n: Coleen River, Los Angeles 90024. Telaphnne
213/825-4610. We again offer our thanks to in._M
Extension for furnishing KPFK the tapes and permis-
sion to broadcast them.
CLEARING THE SMOKE FROM THE AFTERNOON AIR
Anita Frankel, producer of the Afternoon Air, asked one day for listener tips on breaking the smoking habit.
The calls poured in, with an interesting and rather original inventory of suggestions. Here are some of the ways
KPFK listeners have used to put the evil weed behind you, and keep it that way:
— Drink lobillia tea three times a day.
— Eat raw sunflower seeds.
— Exercise!
— Kiss a lot.
— Distract yourself when you want a smoke.
— Be determined.
— Do it for someone you love (lover, child).
— Work on loving yourself!
— Drink lotsa water.
— Suck cloves.
— Drink liquids through a straw.
— Don't kick yourself if you take a drag— i.e.,
don't give up.
— Notice how you're feeling; be aware of your body.
— Watch other smokers— they look yeccchy and
compulsive.
— Time yourself when you get the urge ("if I can just
go two minutes, I'll forget about it.").
— Take deep breaths— fill your chest with air (This
works good, follis! —A.F.)
And finally,
— You're losing a close friend. Allow yourself to grieve.
Anita Frankel sans cigarette (photo: Richard Hodges).
As of FOLIO deadline (early February), Anita's still sneaking an occasional drag, but with plenty of deep
breathing, exercise and grieving, she's confident that this time, this is it!!! (Maybe. . .)

Report to the Listener
Jim Berland, General Manager
Within two years of Pacifica's founding in 1949, the Uni-
ted States was engulfed by a pervasive fear. A fear of
"communism" which evidenced as a fear of controversy,
radicalism, democracy and dissent. It was called the Cold
War.
Cold War II threatens as Pacifica prepares to mark its 31st
Anniversary, April 15. We would hope to avoid It, but if
it comes it will be a cold war with a difference. The per-
vasiveness, the fear of dissent will be resisted widely. The
experience of Vietnam has left many Americans cynical
and untrusting of the government. The serious economic
problems facing the US are unprecedented. There is a
widespread search for an alternative to the cold war men-
tality. Pacifica radio now has five stations, and has been
joined by 50 community stations and more than 200
public radio stations.
This latter represents a possible force for democratic com-
munication. Pacifica occupies a unique place in this world
of communication. We are unique, no longer because of
our non-commercial format, but because of our founders'
dedication to the search for peaceful resolution of inter-
national and domestic conflict. Now is the time to renew
that dedication.
We at KPFK will do our best to provide the staff support,
the journalistic aggressiveness, and the technical and pro-
duction expertise. It is up to the community to provide
the intellectual and financial resources. We will renew our
dedication to combat cold war mentality. To provide a
platform for the points of view not permitted regularly
in commercial media and to search out the information
necessary for all of us to make democratic decisions, we
need your renewed support.
April 12th we will begin our spring RADIOTHON. After
two weeks of fundraising, we will return to regular pro-
gramming for more than three weeks, and we'll conclude
the Radiothon with two weeks in May. Our goal Is to raise
$125,000. This month you will receive a pre-thon mailing
asking for additional support from those of you who have
already given. Your contributions will be counted toward
our goal, and your larger donations ($50 or more) can be
used as matching funds. I urge you to respond. I also urge
those of you who are up for renewal to do it now.
Subscriptions
As you should know by now, we have been having mass-
ive problems with the conversion of our subscription sys-
tem from one computer setup to another. We discovered
a basic error during the past few weeks and this March
Folio and mailings should reflect corrections of most prob-
lems. The error was the result of a programming mistake
which did not absorb update information. Thus, payments
made from October through December and early January
were not reflected in the records. That information has
now been successfully entered. There remain some prob-
lems with the system, some of them affecting our oldest
and most generous supporters. We seem to have corrected
about 1400 cases of that type. If you continue to have a
problem, being billed when you have paid (you should al-
low 30 days for payments to be recorded), please return
the bill or renewal notice with the correct information
written on it (please add your own stamp, it saves us 15c).
Other problems to watch for: getting a renewal when your
subscription is not due to expire soon; not getting a re-
newal bill when your subscription is up; or incorrect in-
formation on your bill. Thanks for your cooperation and
patience during this difficult time. We continue to hope
that the new system will prove itself eventually with bet-
ter service and more reliable record keeping than the old
system.
People
You've probably noticed that Leni Isaacs has taken a leave
of absence from the Music Department. She is pursuing
graduate studies in arts management at UCLA, but still
pops around occasionally to help out. Meanwhile, her place
is being ably filled by Lois Vierk who also serves as music
librarian.
After a year-long search, KPFK has obtained the services
of a Development Director. Development is the latest
euphemism for fundraising, and also includes public rela-
tions and promotion. Michele Taylor comes to KPFK af-
ter ten years of experience raising money for the Brother-
hood Crusade in Los Angeles. With her help, we hope to
develop a large-donors program, do more grant writing,
and improve outreach and community awareness.
During the last two months, I have been putting in more
time as Acting Program Director. While this is not as satis-
factory as having a full time P.D., it should beat none at
all. I am examining KPFK's ability to adequately the in-
creased international tensions. We have some serious weak-
nesses. If you have knowledge or experience that could
help and you have the time and willingness to volunteer,
please contact me.
Spread the word. There is an alternative to Cold War II.
It's called Pacifica and in Los Angeles it's at 90.7 fm.
For peace.

More Blessed to Give. . .
Have you ever wondered about those premiums you've
heard us offer during fundraising times? They are our
way of saying thank you to those who pledge a donation
in response to our requests for subscriptions to KPFK.
Those gifts that we give away (records, bool^s, movie and
theater ticl<ets, and many other interesting things) are
given to the station by caring members of the
business community, to help us along in our
fundraising. We could never afford to BUY
premiums to give away, and it'd be dumb—
we'd sooner lower the cost of the subscrip-
tion! So each time we gear up for a fund-
raiser, we spend a goodly amount of time
and energy scouting up new premiums to
give away.
Perhaps you have a premium for us! If
your business deals in goods or services
that you think would be useful to offer
to our listeners as a way of enticing
them to pledge, and if you are in a position
to offer some of what you have to us to give
away, please call us right up! Assistant Manager
Anita Styles would love to talk to you about your
premium, and make the necessary arrangements to
get it to us in time for the Spring Radiothon (two weeks
in April and two in May). You know the phone number,
21 3/ 877-271 1 . Two things to remember about giving us
premiums: You'll feel great about helping KPFK. . .
(and. It's tax-deductible!)

TRANSITION TO SOLAR
Continued from page 1 1.
efficiency of over 90%, producing both heat and electricity
at the price it now costs to produce /wsf heat. And, as solar
methane gas (produced from garbage, agricultural residues
and grain) is developed, it can be gradually introduced into
the existing natural gas pipelines to power the cogenerators.
In addition to the obvious energy and economic savings,
one of the sad ironies of the current energy situation is that
Chrysler workers who face devastating unemployment could
be readily engaged in manufacturing cogeneration units for
the domestic market.
As our second step in implementing the solar transition, let
us further reduce natural gas demand through the installa-
tion of various solar technologies. One way to do this is with
a simple device called a flat plate solar collector mounted
on home rooftops. The collector traps sunlight behind a
glass plate and converts it to thermal energy. This then heats
water circulating behind the glass panel. This hot water is
then transferred to a storage tank and is subsequently used
as a source of space heat and hot water. In order to supply
50% of the heat and hot water of a typical Southern Cali-
fornia home, a 10 x 10 foot square rooftop collector and a
100-gallon storage tank would be required. This simple tech-
nology, if widely used, could drastically reduce natural gas
demand and completely eliminate the need to import ex-
pensive and dangerous liquified natural gas (LNG), as is pro-
posed for Point Conception in California.
CAN WE AFFORD IT?
At this early point in our scenario, however, we confront a
serious problem. As attractive as flat plate collectors and co-
generators seem, the demand for these products is low be-
cause they are expensive. A flat plate solar collector instal-
lation costs about $5,000 for a single home, while the co-
generation unit referred to costs roughly $3,000. California's
55% solar tax credit was established to provide an incentive
to homeowners to take the first solar step, and has in fact
assisted solar development to some extent. But a recently
published first-year evaluation of the solar tax credit pro-
gram has underscored the difficulties of such an approach:
over 70% of the tax credits were used for active swimming
pool heating systems; more than half of the claims were filed
by taxpayers in the $20,000 to 40,000 income bracket; and
the State of California lost $10.5 million in tax revenues—
a significant sum in light of Proposition 13 constraints on
much-needed social services. The problem here is that
wealthy homeowners enjoy the economic benefits of in-
creased energy savings, but poor and middle-income families
who can't afford the investment continue to pay higher and
higher energy prices. Renters, of course, can't participate in
such a program either, unless they plan to re-install their so-
lar collector each time they move. Ironically, poor and mo-
dest income families and renters who are irtost in need of
relief from high energy prices have been made to indirectly
subsidize solar installations for the rich.
A more equitable approach would be the direct financing
of solar installations through public funds to reduce energy
consumption. Taxation of energy industry profits, or a trans-
fer of public monies now devoted to nuclear power and LNG
development would be ways to provide the large capital as-
sets needed for the solar transition. Such a program could
feasibly make available a low-interest, revolving loan fund;
could subsidize mas transit, community solar conversion
and development projects; or could be invested in the direct
manufacturing of reliable, low-cost solar equipment. Similar-
ly, the implementation of cogeneration would require a re-
structuring of electric utility rates which now mandate high
stand-by and buy-back costs for customers generating part
or all of their own electric needs. If gas and electric utilities
were to pursue aggressive cogeneration and solarization pro-
grams, many proposed coal, nuclear and synthetic fuel plants
would become unnecessary. Concepts such as these would
begin to make solar technology available to those who need
it most and would probably assure a more rapid penetration
of solar into the fossil fuel market. Implementation, how-
ever, will depend upon a strong public initiative, concerned
with the social necessity of a solar transition, rather than its
profitability.
PHOTOVOLTAIC CELLS
Our next step in the solar transition would probably involve
the photovoltaic cell or solar cell. These devices, first de-
veloped by NASA for space applications, convert sunlight
directly into electricity. Arrays of these devices mounted
on home roofs can provide more than enough electricy for
residential use. They are currently about 8% efficient, but
reasonable projections estimate that this can be almost dou-
bled in the next decade.
Solar cells, however, only make electricity when the sun
shines, an obvious problem since electricity is needed in the
nome after dark. Our next solar step would then entail the
sharing of electricity through a national or regional power
grid. For example, excess electricity produced from photo-
voltaics in sunny, Southern California during the day could
be sent to the cloudy Northwest. This would save the abun-
dant hydroelectric power of the Northwest until after dark
when it can then be shared with the South. This obviously
requires extensive public planning and a well-coordinated
development program, something antithetical to the hap»-
hazard and piecemeal approach of the free market.
Solar cells, like other solar technologies, are also extremely
expensive. Since the late 1950s, the price has fallen almost
a thousand-fold, yet they are still not economically compe-
titive with other electrical sources. The fundamental prob-
lem here is that the introduction of mass production tech-
niques which would greatly drop the cost of the cells de-
pends on the development of a market (or demand). A study
by the Federal Energy Administration (FEA) in 1977 con-
cluded that the cost of photovoltaics could be driven down
by large government purchases at current prices in order to
stimulate the market. The FEA study estimated that a
$440 million purchase of photovoltaics would cause rapid
expansion of the industry and drive prices down to competi-
tive levels by 1983. Congress, under the influence of this stu-
dy, approved a $90 million solar cell purchase provision in
the 1978 Energy Act. President Carter signed the bill, but
has refused to spend the money. As a result, photovoltaics
will not become economically competitive until after 1987.
This delay is extremely serious and further demonstrates the
KPFK FOLIO PAGE 33
SOLAR TRANSITION
Continued from page 33.
fact that out energy situation is not so much a technology
problem as a political one.
A POLITICAL PROBLEM
Here we have only begun to scratch the surface of a few of
the problems involved in a solar transition. The important
point is that a solar-based energy economy will only occur
rapidly and equitably through strong and aggressive public
programs under the direction of concerned citizens, labor
unions and representatives of the poor and renters. After all,
these are the poeple who stand to gain from the solar transi-
tion, as compared to the oil companies and electric utilities
wedded to the continued production of fossil fuel, nuclear
energy and staggering profits. As individuals, there are a few
small steps that can be taken: home insulation, close moni-
toring of thermostats, and flat plate collectors are all good
ideas (if you are among the few who can afford them). But
the real benefits of a solar transition will not occur by indi-
viduals acting alone. The effective integration of various so-
lar technologies and the development of energy self-sufficien-
cy requires that the entire energy industry be placed under
close public control. The solar strategy briefly outlined here
presents a fundamental challenge to existing privatized me-
thods of energy production, distribution and utilization.
And it is ultimately on the political terrain where our main
efforts must take place.
A young woman from "Live Wires" sang us a telegram not too long ago, right smack in the middle of a Staff Meeting!

KPFK Feedback
Hi, just let me congratulate you all, staff and volunteers,
for the wonderful broadcasting you provide. I appreciate
the opportunity to comment. You may reply or reprint
as you like. 1 ) Who is reading this? Is there a designated
regular Feedback reader? 2) Folio editor— the Folio is real
nice as Is: not too big and primarliy a readable program
guide. I like a bit of deeper program information and some
letters. And, I really dig photos of the staff and volunteers.
I enjoy the other photos too. 3) How about changing the
name "Nixon Tapes" to something else. Can't we get that
name out of our minds please?. . . 4) Gay and Lesbian is-
sues are such a bore. How about a civil liberties program
which deals with all human rights issues in our communi-
ty. This would entail dealing with homosexual rights, but
within a more meaningful context. . . .5) I feel the station
does not emphasize enough its listener sponsorship. I sug-
gest iinef station pitches and invitations to join. . . peri-
odically during all hours. It is possible, during non-marathon
periods, for someone to listen to KPFK a lot and never re-
alize how the station works and how to subscribe. . . .
Dan Heagney, Laguna Beach
1) The phone-people sort the mail, and then letters are
passed around to all the appropriate people named with-
in. I (Folio Editor) get most of the letters addressed to
"Feedback, "read them, and pass them along. ALL letters
eventually end up in the Manager's letters file, and then
jim and I choose the few that end up in the Folio, taking
note of specific letters brought to our attention by other
staff people. We try to choose representative opinions, but
try to avoid straight "fan" mail ("I just love everything. . . ").
2) Thanks for liking the Folio, I agree about the sad lack
of deeper programming information. I work on that all
the time, but most programmers regard the Folio as some-
what secondary in importance! A nd besides, the deadline
is so early! And it stifles spontaneity! Keep those cards
and letters coming in, folks, and we 'II get that program-
ming information into the Folio. 3) Obviously, we do not
tell programmers what to name their programs, any more
than we tell them what they should air. If you think the
name in the Folio is bad (I think it 's rather clever, actually),
consider the plight of poor Tom Nixon who has to live
with it seven-days-a-week! My only objection to the title
is that it does not tell subscribers (potential listeners) any-
thing about what the program is about, and he NE VER
submits any programming information! 4) Gay and Les-
bian issues will continue to have air time on KPFK until
such time as the "establishment" media make that super-
fluous by doing such a good job of covering them tnat they
no longer need KPFK. KPFK never intended that all of our
programs would interest all of our listeners. It is intended
that minority points of view needing a place on the air
waves, find that place on KPFK. But you know that. 5)
We wish that the mere mention of listener-sponsorship be-
tween programs would muster the support the station
needs, but it has never proved so. We occasionally re-
member to prepare "carts" (cartridge tapes) with brief
pitches for subscribing, but we're not convinced of their
effectiveness. I agree with you that it's important to keep
the idea before the public all year 'round.
Jane (whew!)
Thank you for the all-gay programming today.
I am not often free to listen to the 8:30 Sunday
program so today's features were particularly
welcome. Please continue to give the gay commun-
ity your support and through it a more positive
image of itself. I have phoned in a contribution.
Yours in Peace- Gerry B.
Congratulations Richard Mahler, et. al. for those two fine
interviews of Jan. 17th. You represent why our dial seldom
strays from 90.7 FM (eat your heart out, Walter Cronkite).
Richard & Maria Harris,

First the good news. I enjoy your (our) station a lot. I have
quit listening to other stations ekcept our local AM occa-
sionally. I can't understand why individuals who would lis-
ten to the type of programs on KPFK (and therefore sup-
port the philosophy) would not be willing to support the
station. I am sure you can't either. Also since I am a sub-
scriber do I get a decoder that eliminates the fundraising?
The bad news is that I have NEVER gotten my Folio by
the first of the month. I always have to call the station.
Bill Morgan, Corona
The recent computer problems aside, we have always felt
that 10 full working days was enough time for the Post
Office to do its job, and have aimed for that deadline
(approx. the 20th of the preceding month). Unfortunate-
ly, too many of our subscribers in the outlying areas share
your problem, and so we 've moved our deadline up again,
leaving the damn post office 15 working days. If that
doesn 't do it, we 're all in trouble! Your own private decoder
to avoid the fundraising is simply that we try to list as ac-
curately as possible when there will be fundraising, in the
Folio. The very specifics are not always available in time.

Continued from page 35.
Enclosed is my cheque for ten dollars, but don't think you
get off so lightly, for ten dollars I get my ten cents worth.
First of all over the past few days I have been mulling over
"Pacifica Publications." I don't know if you do any pub-
lishing other than the Folio, but you do have some talent
on your programs that would warrant the occasional pam-
phlet. For example, last week the two speakers on the car
show did an excellent program on what to look for when
buying a car, if the salient points of that talk were writ-
ten up into a pamphlet, I for one would pay 50 to 75c
for the pleasure of having it in hand when searching the
back alleys of Los Angeles for a slightly rusty gas guzzler.
Peter Sutheim of In Fidelity could also do similar things
to guide audiophiles through the equipment jungle. Will
Kinney of course is a veritable mine of information for
the gardening cultists, with four azelias and a sick and
sad Ficus Benjamins, I never miss his programs. There
must of course be other programs that could generate
similar pamphlets.
J.M., Pasadena
But why not print such articles right in the Folio? When
we published the famous Car Show Garage List two years
ago, we had people subscribing to get their hands on it!
Obviously, they probably already felt that they "should"
subscribe, but the Car Show list pushed their buttons.
In this very Folio is a long article about Transition to
Solar Power written by the people that do a show on
that subject on The Afternoon Air. We are working on
getting more of the same in future Folios (keep an eye
out for the newly updated Car Show Garage List —
coming soon!) We want the Folio to be as useful as pos-
sible for our subscribers, because we want to keep them
all, and because we want them to want to keep us! <

Dear Anita, Richard and Roberta,
As a listener-subscriber of KPFK, I have some feedback
on recent programming, which I hope will be welcome
as constructive and positive. A few nights back, an ex-
cellent report was filed by David Mandel from Jerusalem
regarding the crisis of the Begin gov't, and recent allega-
tions of brutality against West Bank Arabs. I think it is
crucial that an alternative voice be heard on topics NOT
covered by the Times etc. that Pacifica/KPFK new not
reflect establishment news with a different viewpoint/
depth, but choose its own news (which I am sure is done).
David's report was an excellent example. Today, a portion
of "Richland Woman" was devoted to "Comparative Re-
ligion," in this case, Islam. I have never heard such an ob-
noxiously biased "explanation" of Islam, in particular
that of Shi'ite Islam. If the purpose was to truly provide
an understanding of Islam, I see no place for Marty's (?)
editorial comments and critque of religion in general.
Further, I have doubts of the host's full knowledge of
Islam; several times he mispronounced "Medina" the
next holiest city in Islam to Mecca (a superficial criter-
ion, but this is only indicative of the overall quality of
the program). I am severely disappointed and welcome
any response. In peace,
D.M., Los Angeles
The All-Nations Gospel Festival was FANTASTIC ("fantas-
tic was written in two-inch-high letters, In five colors. —Ed.).
I would have written sooner, but it's taken me a week to stop
clapping my hands. PLEASE don't wait til next year for ano-
ther gospel festival— I want to go to one every week. This is
a wonderful way to have KPFK benefits-I'll bring ten of my
friends to the next one. It's been years since I could stand to
spend more than an hour in a theater or auditorium, but last
Friday night I was riveted to my seat (although it seemed my
seat was jumping around!) And I loved every second. Sincer-
ity, beauty, power— every group was inspired. My gratitude
to Prince Dixon (now I know why he's called the Small One),
Papa Beasley, and of course Mario. I wish I could thank all
those singers, too. They were. . .fantastic! Yours for aural
liberation,
K. B.,Los Angeles
Next will be the Balkan Festival, then in the spring, we
hope to have a Cajun or Carribbean one. We will have
another Gospel Festival, as we all enjoyed it as much as
you, but it probably won 't be quite as soon as you would
like. Right this minute, see page 5 of your Folio for the
most immediate benefit, a morning of women 's films in
honor of International Women 's Day.

Charles Morgan's commentary last week hit our U.S.
Foreign Policy since World War II right on the (ugly)
head. What would we do without Charles! ... It just
occurred to me. If the Russians boycotted the Olym-
pics in the 70s, we may have pulled out of Vietnam?
S.M., Santa Monica
As a fervant believer in the idea of Pacifica Radio (I
listened to KPFA in the fifties) and a life-long suppor-
ter of KPFK, and also as a seasoned but bowed fund-
raiser, I feel honor-bound to respond to your appeal
before throwing it into the wastebaskct.
Aside from the fact that (through my own fault) I have
not been tuning in, I still continued contributing with
the idea I shouldn't let my charter membership lapse.
You would think, just once, someone would bother to
recognize your old supporters.
Instead, we keep getting those appeals as a reminder of
how many don't give a damn. I guess my main objec-
tion is being lumped in with the mass of people that
don't give a damn.
Sincerely,
F. B., No. Hollywood
Having gone through many and varied subscriptions
systems and non-systems over the last 20 years, we un-
fortunately have no records as to who our Charter Sub-
scribers are. We honor you all, but don 't know exactly
who you are. Sorry to say good-bye. By the way, the
mail -appeals cut down on the on-t he-air fundraising.

On RETROSPECTIVE by L.C. Rhinehart

Like Gilgamesh by the river,
the radio has starved cheeks.
Lightning light years later,
90.7 is a skinny, tinny thing
and the Flower

— for me.
Eliot fades,
mesmerizing Mintz,

only sad, saddening space

(you, me
dying dachsunds);
the Voice fades,
the chance fades
(chance love, brief romance
—met on a casual tape,
parted on a soft goodby,
with Bogey leaning hard
on our backdrop);
the Voice fades;
it all fades,
goes up in smoke
and out on schedule:
Hodel and Tuckman
(beat magicians
but tough cases,
relentless on the close-down)
shoot their wrists,
snap their fingers,
press their buttons
and take it all away
—all the flesh and flash
of twenty years
and split seconds.
The steak went back
(bit or not);
Ustinov finished off
Bach-
— but the mystery remains
(both remain),
shrouded in white noise:
Who penned
The Prostitute in a Pique?
and Why does that
and all of that

No, not Juggernauts all
(not by a long shot).
It wasn't all Joyce either, Boiyo.
Not all Baldwin, Baby.
Not Huxley, Wilde,

Not all artists in hell.
Not all stark, stalking drama:
First, Second, Third

And then
there were those

were there not?
Little comic twinge of ego

Little bits of present brass

So-

Only perfect.
It was perfect.
All of it:
big and small,
slip and slick,
fabled time

on a resident voice;
past and present,
shaken out of tense

perfect tension
—little human bits

balancing
the unbearable

can we bear the crack of doom?).
IT WAS PERFECT.
And gone.
Too soon.
KPFK FOLIO PAGE 37
SJBSCRJPTJQMS
THE COMPUTER
Our computer is located in Berkeley, which saves us a
lot of money but which is inconvenient. We send subscrip-
tions information to the computer twice a month. Around
the middle of the month we do the regular Folio label run
which returns the Folio labels, bills, renewal letter labels
and income statements a few days later. The following
week we do a "catch up" Folio label run for payments
received late or for corrections processed after the regular
run.
Your payment may not go into the computer as
quickly as you might think because: payments go to our
lockbox at the Terminal Annex Post Office in Los Angeles,
then they go to the bank and the bank processes the pay-
ments and sends them to us-through the mail. This
process often takes more than a week from the time you
send your payment. So, if you send your check around
the 8th of the month, there's a good chance you should
receive the Folio for the following month and you'll also
avoid duplicate billing, which has been the scourge of our
subscriptions system.
BILL PAYMENT
Always send a bill with your check! A SI 5 payment
received without a bill or renewal notice might be credited
as a Film Club payment, a straight donation to the station
or the Expansion Fund. If you send a check in for a
pledge payment without a bill, you might be credited for
a new subscription and still be billed for your original
pledge. Likewise, if you send a payment for a subscription
renewal on a company check without a renewal notice,
you're likely to receive a new sjbscription at your com-
pany address and still receive a renewal notice for your
original subscription. So always be sure to refer to your
account by the name on the account and the address at
which you receive your Folio.
FIRST CLASS FOLIO MAILING
The Folio goes out by 2nd Class mail, and should
take 2-5 days to get most places. Theoretically, 2nd Class
gets better handling than our old non-profit permit, but
our experience with the Post Office defies theory. First
Class mailing is available for 38 extra per year (pro-rated
at 75 cents per month for current subscriptions). This is
often the answer for slow mailing areas like Goleta, Santa
Barbara, Leucadia, Simi Valley or Pearblossom-to name just
a few. If you live in an area that gets relatively prompt
service but want the Folio well before the beginning of
the month, then you might want your Folio by 1st Class.
I DIDN'T GET MY FOLIO
The Folio is mailed around the 20th of the month. If
you have not received your Folio by the first of the month:
(1) check your subscription expiration date on the previous
Folio label (upper right hand corner of label). (2) Make
sure you haven't moved without notifying us. (3) If you
haven't moved and are currently enrolled as a subscriber,
contact your local postmaster about delivery. (4) send us
a previous Folio label with an explanatory note or call for
a new Folio to be sent to you.
MOVING-ADDRESS CHANGES
If you move, yoLir Folio will not be forwarded unless
you request 2nd class forwarding from the Post Office. The
best way to expedite an address change and assure continued
receipt of the Folio is to call the station and ask for subscrip-
tions or leave your name, old zipcode, and new address with
the switchboard. There is an address change form on the
back page of the Folio that can be used also. Whenever you
do an address change with us, always include your account
number at the top of your Folio label-that will insure
instant handling. Address changes returned to us by the
Post Office cost us 25 cents apiece and frequently take a
month to be returned to us.
PRISONER SUBSCRIPTIONS
KPFK seends free to any prisoner, upon request, the
Folio.
CASSETTE FOLIOS FOR THE PRINT HANDICAPPED
The Folio is available on cassette (returnable) to all
print handicapped subscribers. If you 'vould like to
receive the Folio in this form, please tear off the address
label on the back of the Folio and send it along with
a note (or you may call). Within two months, you will
be receiving your complete program guide on cassette. The
cassettes are returned to us at the end of each month.
EXCHANGE MAILING LISTS
KPFK exchanges and rents its subscriber lists to
other organizations of common interest (Channel 28,
Ralph Nader, ACLU, etc.). If you don't want to be
on exchange mailing lists, send your Folio label to the
Subscriptions Department and ask for an "NJ" Code.
Your name will then be automatically removed from
all mailings except for the Folio and renewal letters.
